about

Grown Up is the first single off of Emily Milling’s debut album, Take Your Life More Seriously. Inspired by 90s pop songs and her mom, Grown Up is a nostalgic guilt trip for moms everywhere that can’t wait for their kids to take responsibility for their own lives - but who always show up anyway because they’re awesome!

lyrics

VERSE 1
I’m moving out on my own for the first time
Leaving everything I knew behind
Mom, I know you’re sad I’m leaving, but I’ll be alright
And I’m taking all the toilet paper

Mom don’t be sad you know I’ll be back soon
And please don’t change a thing in my bedroom
Well, it’s still mine, what if I want to move back?
Why did you laugh so hard at that?

BRIDGE
Oh, no
I’m bringing all my laundry home
My roommates suck and
Oh yeah
They are making me clean
Also can you clean my toilet?
I poured you a glass of wine
Mom, you know how much I care

CHORUS
I am a grownup now
Doing it all by myself
Yeah I am a grownup now
I don’t need anyone’s help

VERSE 2
I got a job, I work the checkout line
It’s really gross but I can buy my own wine
I was hungover so I called in sick
Mom, honestly the manager’s a raging dick

You always taught me to stand up for myself
So I said “buddy, you can go to hell!”
That’s why I left my job but I’ll be alright
Because I’m moving back home with you tonight

BRIDGE
Oh, no
I didn’t wanna work anymore
I quit my job and
Oh yeah it’s my decision to make
So I’m moving home for a little while
I poured you a glass of wine
Mom, you know how much I care

BRIDGE 2
What do you mean I can’t come home?
My savings are gone, I spent it all on shoes
Honestly it wasn’t my fault
They just kept scheduling me too early in the morning

Em
Oh oh
Mom
Oh no.
Em
Yeah yeah
Mom
No, no!

CHORUS
I am a grownup now
Doing it all by myself
Yeah I am a grownup now
I don’t need anyone’s help
